AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the stability of ratings on the McMaster Mealtime 
      Interaction Coding System (MICS), an observational measure of family functioning, 
      across three typical evening meals. METHODS: Participants included families of 
      infants and toddlers with cystic fibrosis (n = 33) and with no chronic illness (n 
      = 33). Three meals were videotaped across a 3-week period (M = 17.4 days) and 
      involved a secondary data analysis from a larger study. RESULTS: Across both 
      groups, test-retest reliability (paired correlation coefficients) was generally 
      moderate, but significant, for all scales at each time point comparison. Analyses 
      revealed no significant within-or between-group differences across time periods 
      on healthy versus unhealthy ratings. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the 
      limitations of coding a single mealtime observation or interpreting multiple 
      observations using the MICS. Findings highlight that family, meal, illness, and 
      assessment factors may impact variability in ratings over time.
